It’s the opening day of Pedalpalooza and summer bike season is getting underway. Unfortunately, TriMet needs to partially close a section of the highly trafficked Eastbank Esplanade starting this Monday (6/15).
Here’s the official word from TriMet:
Bike traffic on the Eastbank Esplanade between the Hawthorne Bridge and SE Caruthers Street will be temporarily detoured to SE Water Avenue Monday, June 15, through Thursday, June 18, 2009.
In preparation for the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Project’s new bridge over the Willamette River, crews will be collecting geotechnical samples along the riverbank using heavy equipment.
Cyclists can dismount and walk through the work zone, but we recommend following the detour route instead to avoid delays.
